Bible Song

No strangers in this town No one moves without making a sound You live and die within the borders and lines No one dies without paying their fines No lovers in this town The moon's full but it sure ain't round And just because you lie in his bed Don't mean you meant the things you said They marry young in these parts They work the factories So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So nobody would sing some bible song over me My cousin died in his sleep Forty pills, two kids to keep And how will she explain to those kids About the sorry thing daddy did? They marry young in these parts They raise their kids and set them free So I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods So nobody would sing some bible song over me They buried him out in the cold He was only twenty-four years old How his mother came undone When the choir sang hallelujah I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and and the midnight woods I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and and the midnight woods Hallelujah hallelujah -- ahhh Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah
